EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing artwork titled "Round Tower Carceri d'invenzione Imaginary Prisons" by Giovanni Battista Piranesi. The Italian artist, born in Mogliano Veneto in 1720, spent most of his life in Rome after moving there at the age of twenty. Piranesi's immense talent and passion for etching led him to create a series of extraordinary prints that became his greatest inspiration. The image itself depicts an intricate round tower, one among many imaginary prisons that Piranesi masterfully brought to life through etching and engraving techniques. This particular piece is from the first state of the artwork, showcasing its original form before any modifications were made. The use of sulphur tint adds depth and richness to the composition while open bite technique enhances its texture. Piranesi's "Imaginary Prisons" series consists of thousands of etchings created between 1749 and 1750. Each print presents a unique architectural marvel filled with mysterious corridors, staircases leading nowhere, and vast empty spaces that evoke a sense of confinement and isolation. Artokoloro has beautifully captured this iconic work by Piranesi, allowing us to appreciate every minute detail within its dimensions measuring approximately 24 13/16 x 19 1/2 inches (63.495 cm). This print serves as a testament to both the genius behind Giovanni Battista Piranesi's artistry and Artokoloro's commitment
